Pros

Great staff and manager, loved the atmosphere. But upper management does not recognize superior employees.

Cons

Can not keep managers with district managers and regional managers changing store every other week and no hours to do it. Very indecisive district managers, constantly changing store, then changing mind and changing again. Supervisors are overworked and underpaid, they carry majority of operations at stores with little recognition or pay.

being a supervisor is alot of hard work ,you basically do everything from freight to open and close the store, bookeeping,customer service, sell magazines, new accounts, deposit money to the bank,inventory, reports, make shedules etc. the list goes on. for all the work you do the pay is not good.We should be making more.

Pros

There is nothing good about this company

Cons

POOR MANAGEMENT POOR PAY DISHONESTY I was hired at bealls in 2011. My first day on the job was Black Friday, the only training I got was a three hour walk through of the store a few days prior and maybe a total of 15 minutes on the register. So on one of the busiest shopping days of the year they threw me on the register and I had no idea what I was doing. It was a horrible experience. After that, they had me working in every department for a month at a time never long enough to learn anything, I was thrown around and treated poorly. There is the store manager and area manager for every department so you aren't just being told what to do by one manager, you are told " I need you to clear out the fitting rooms as soon as possible." Then a different manager will come up to you and tell you " I need you to stay at the register to cover so and so's break." Then you will get in trouble by your store manager for not listening. I got written up for not being where I was supposed to be one too many times, yet I had been using the restroom at the precise moment one of the 5 managers would be looking for me. They then cut my hours down to 4 hours every two weeks. How can you live off of a 36$ pay check!!??!!! They beat their employees down until people are crying at work, they make promises to you they will never keep and this is not just the store I worked at, At least in Naples Florida, it is every Bealls. Just be warned.
